Hi Dick,

    I too saw the picture.

    I don't know about Nikon equipment, but the picture of the Afghan
    refugee  with her beautiful,  piercing, haunting eyes, is certainly
Steve
    McCurry's.  It graces the cover of National Geographic The Photographs.
    (Is she looking into the conscience of mankind ?).  I wonder if Steve
    McCurry/Nikon/National Geographic secured a model release to use
    her picture in this commercial advertisement.
